Annotated Bibliography

In this paper I will be analyzing annotated bibliography of the approaches that can be applied to examine and present life history research. I aim to introduce the audience to the concept of the life history research method, as well as to other approaches that are interrelated to the aim objective. I will also be analyzing the different strategies as well as tools that are utilized in research methods and are frequently employed in the unique blend of qualitative methodology. The origins and reasons for life history methodology will also be discussed, as well as the sudden rise in the popularity of these methods in the past few years among students and scholars alike.

There are several terminologies in annotation that are used to describe the methods, as well as outlining the methodology and theoretical choices that researchers often come across while their work. Several authors have presented their opinions and research over these particular topics as well as several journals that are available as resources and online material as well. If one is to research on these methods, they will come across several critiques over them as well as information over the ethical issues that erupt with the topic. The actual term 'life history' method itself, is used in order to refer to the diverse collection as well as interpretation of the individual histories or oral testimonies that have gradually been collected while the method of an interview process is utilized, in order to further provide an understanding of the altered and continuously modifying experiences as well as the context in which different individuals view daily lives. A bibliography observes that is considered important to different individuals, and what factors have led to their opinions forming in the way that they have. Often, the research methods included in finding out this information require that an individuals history and all significant background information is gone through by the researcher. Their past, present as well as future plans must be examined in order to come to a conclusion (Roberts 2002: 1).

In the annotated bibliography, the texts that are reviewed are steeped in a diverse range of disciplines as well as an array of theoretical an philosophical points.They are not in as much detail as an actual research paer but the range that is explored is somewhat impressive. Apart from this, the main objective is to ensure the audience is aware of the research method, and are aware of the similar as well as interconnected approaches and identification of available strategies and tools for researchers who plan to make use of this truly exceptional qualitative tactic

. Social sciences is a field that has special need for research methodologies, so it is no coincidence that among that particular field, the interest in life history In the past three decades as only soared higher and higher. The collection as well as the interpretation of personal histories has risen in numbers, as well as testimonies that are used as resources(Roberts ...
